A. INOVEL (BY THE AUTHOR OJT " QABTB .' CBAPIEB VI. We made a late start tbe nix I morning and did cot reach tbe {arm-bouse before four o'clock. I had little opportunity ot speaking to Kate on tbe way ; in tact, tbe pre>enoa ot Blnrk, wbo tat on tbe box ot tbe vehicle tnd once in a while threw a glance al us ovir bis shoulder, irritated m* to snob a degree thai more tender sentiment* ware temporarily poshed into tbe background. Kate hertelf, though aha attempted u ap- pear cheerful, betrayed iigoa of inward anxiety and nervonsneei ; while Mr, Birch- more converted wilb a volatility and dis- eursivenete greater than I bad ever remarked in him before. Tbe farmhouse stood qoite alone on an unfrequented bye-road, in a little angle of tbe bill*. It waa nol exactly a picturesque building, wilb ita tour walla covered with rough plaater and pierced witb dozena ot small windows, and ita enormous red- tiled roof, with those quaint, narrow apertures, like halt opened syse, disclosing a single pane of glass, whieh do duly aa dormers. U stood flash with the road, as German houses are food ol doing, but behind wat a large inoloeed farmyard, roughly paved wilh round atones and well walled in. Tbi front door, though rather pretentiously painted and ornamented, wilb tome religi- ons verticle or otber written np on tbe lintel, wai nol need ae a means ot entrance or exit. It wat, as I afterwards discovered, not only locked and bolted, but actually icrewed op on Ibe inside, and Ihe only way ol getting into the bonne waa by a tide door opening into Ihe court-yard. A.I tbe court- yard itself was provided wilh a heavy gate, yon will aee that Ihe farmhouse, close to Ihe road though il was, wai by no meant so eaiy ot ingresi or egreee aa it appeared tuppoaing, ol eonrie, that il wai the humor ot the inmatM to declare a state of siege. I mention these particulars merely by tbe way. Tbey are common to tbree houses out ol five iu Ibia region. The Birehmores' luggage had.it appeared, already been carried over from the hotel ; bul a man in rough Ipeasant't ooelume, wbo announced himself ai tbi matter of tbi bouse, now came out to lake charge of my trunk. I wai, or fancied myself (aa you may bave noticed), a quick judge of facer, and tbli peasant's face failed to commend iiielt to me. II wae at once heavy and gloomy, while a tear at ont corner of hla month oaated thai feature to twist itaelt into a perfanotory grimace, grotesquely at variance wilh bit normal expreenon. In penon he wae much above thi oommoa ihte, and, to judge by the eata with which he along bii beavy trunk over bit thonldir, be moil havi been IB itrong at Anguit dir Slarke blmttlt, whose brazen statue domi- neere over tba market place in Oreeden. "Oaten morgen, Ben Rudolph I' aaid Blnrk bailing thii giant affably. Tbe two limed to be on some sort ot terms ot com- radaebip, having, perhaps, itrnek np ao acquaintance daring tbe previous negotia- tions for lodginga. I most aay tbey looked to me to be a not iU-matobed pair. We alighted and wera welcomed in wilb surly courtesy by Ilerr Rudolph. Kale, oonfetaiog to a headache, want at onoe to her room, whence aba did not again emerge. Blnrk disappeared Into tbe kitchen regions witb tbe landlord ; Mr. Birebmore presently went out for a stroll before dinner ; and I, finding myself thrown temporarily on my own raeoareai, decided to make a virtue ol my loneliness by writing aoms letters which bad been long owing. I uncord ingly groped my way op tbi darkwme itaireate, and ao along an eccentric pssetgt to my room. I did nol know then, nor oonld I, even now, accurately describe tba arrangimenl Tbtrtwereel leaal ibree separate paua^es, not at right aoglea to one another, but teeming to wander about irregularly, now and tban turoiog awkward oarnera, deaceodiog or aiMuding iborl nighta ol atept, or eddying into a little cul-dtiac, with, perhaps, only a oloael door at the end of n. The eonte- quenoe wai, it was nearly impoasible to lay whose room adjoiaed wbote. II might be a long diilacoe from one Io another, measured along the pasavge, and yat they might actu- ally be separated only by the tbicknoct ol a wall. Where the tanner and his family ile|>t I know not, but I have reason to believe that all oar parly, icoioding Blnrk, were accommodated upon the lame floor. Oa opening the door ol my room I found some one already there. Thia percon wai aoomtly young woman, tbe farmer's daugh- ter evidently, bniy in Ibe benevolent occu- pation ol putting Ihiogs in order. 8be bad moved my trunk beneath the window, she had put freth water in tbe ewer, ebe bad straightened oat the ilipn cf drugget on tbe rough board floor, she bid pltoed some flowers in the window, and she wai now in- gaged in tneking a clean sheet on the bed. I Gaid the wai o.mely ; on second looks ibe was batter than thai. Bbe was positively pretty, with tb* innocent, blonde prelti- neat of vome German peasant giils. Her fair hair, imoalhed compactly over bar small bead and wound up in a funny little pag behind, possessed tfatnl golden lustre ; her eyea were ot aa pure and terene a blue ae toy I aver looked upon ; her smooth oueeks, itightly browned by muab inoshini which bad retted on them, were tinged with healthful bloom; her month might have been smaller, but Ibe full lipe were well-shaped and thcra wera white, even teeth behind them. Her figure, like tbal ot most Bason peaiaot glrla of bet sgi, waa robnit and vigorous ; tbe wore a simple bodice and skirl, at,d her feet and !rg< were bare. Altogether I though; her a very agreeable apparition. " Good morning, bouortd Herr Gaits- borough," she ssid gravely in German aa I entered. " Good morning, pretty maiden," re- turned I gallantly. " You teem to know my nams, though I don't know youn what is it?" "I am called Cbrulina Ohrielioa Rudolph. It i bom* time tinoe I have known Ilerr Giintborougb'* nan e," ebe added. 11 Really?

" Bat be did not speak ot the young lady or of tbt servant." " No. I believe Ibay weren't witb him at tbe time. I only met them myself since I Oftme to Bohandau." " The young lady is Herr Birehmore'* wit* ?" 11 UIH wit* ? Dear heavens, LO t Hil daughter, of courts, Christina." Christina itid nothing, being oeupied in neatly smoothing out the pillo . and laying the wadded counterpaneover t'.a tbeet. " Will Herr Gainsborough ilay witb ni long 7" i ha atked after a pause. " At long as Herr Birehmore doei, I sup- pose." said I oarelsssly. " And Herr Birehmore'* daughter !

"In going about tbli plate the Herr should be cautions. Borne of these bilis and valleys are very lonely. There are spots, not far from here, where no one goea for sometimea many months." " Will, I'll be vary cartful, Cbriitlu- ohen," I rejoined laughing, and in truth not a little amused at the oare my trienda took of ma. " But thoa mast remember thai no one in Germany, exotpl Ilerr Birebmore and bit daughter and tbyaelt, knowa that any aoeh diamonds aa thete art in exittenoe much lens that they are in my pocket." Christina rained btr finger to her lips, aa il to warn me to ipeak lower. " There il at least one otber who knows the man Blnrk I" she said. " Well, perhaps he may," I replied, some- what struck by Her observation, " and, at I see thou bail taken a dullka to the fellow, I will confide to tbee that I consider bim an atrocious brute. But, brute though be is, there> no barm in bim of Ibat kind. He il an old servant of Herr Birebmore, I believe, and woold, of course, be ditmitsed at once it there was anything serious igainul bim." " Naturally," was all Christina's aniwer. Bbe made no pretence of arguing the point wilb me. " Aditn, honored tir," ihe said at tbe door. Bat, witb her hand upon the lalob, rba panied, turned round and added rather confusedly, " Will Hen Gaintbor- oogb goon any expedition witb bis friend) to-day?" " Why, I hardly think io, Christina." "Bui to-morrow, perhaps?" ibe per- sisted, lifting her blue eyea to mine again. " Perhaps," I admitted wilh a smile. " Tban if be can Irani me would Ihe Herr mind leaving the diamonds with ma until he comes back again ? ' " Nay, Ghriitiooben, I cannot give them np, even to tbee, and although I can trust ante ai math M tby brother, or myself. But tboa might's! loae them ; and, it they are to be lost at all, I would rather Ihe responsibility should be mine. Beeidea," I continued, showing my revolver, "I go always with Ibia.

" Many Ibanka, honored sir, I would rathtr not," and, witb a formal oaortety, the fsir-haird lilll* maid opened Ibe door and disappeared, leaving me feeling rather foolish.

" I'll buttonhole Bireb- more i IIH very afternoon and get out of bim everything he know* about bii precious va'el. Il can be co harm to have the mat- ter cleared up Tbo tbing ii absurd, ot course, still, the titnatiou out here it ratbtr lonely, and with two enob lovely neighbors aa papa Rudolph aod Shirk far nolite frattun il may be well to be on the tate tide. Yea, that tball be cleared op to-day." Having arrived at tbia tapieni determi- nation, I tel to work writing my letters and scribbled away diligently tor an boor or two. At length, as I waa looking vacantly up from my paper, at t loas for aometnicg interesting to let down upon il, my eyei happened to rett upon Ihe pane ot my open window. Like neatly all German windoct, it opened inward on hinges, instead ol running np acd down in grooves. Tbe pane on my left, therefore, having Ibe dark room at a b&ek-groond, acted aa a mirror of Iba tui.li. landscape outaide on Ibe right, showing me a portion thereof which waa directly in- visible to me from where I sat, and to any person standing in which I mnal myself be invisible. Now, my window waa on the southern tide of the boose which floated westward on the road. Oa the opposite tide ot tba road wai a narrow strip of land planted wilh vegetables, aod above this roae tba abrupt tide of a bill, ascended by a winding path partly hidden by Ibe Ireea. 1 oonll not aee tbia hill aod path without leaning out of the window and locking toward the right, but a considerable part of il w*i re- flected in my window-pane mirror, and could thus be readily observed without ril- ing from my chair. Happening, then, at I laid, to oast my eyei upon this mirror, I taw two persons Handing together on tbe path upon tbe bill-tide andconvrrsiogiu an animated manner. I had no difficulty io recognizing them ; they wera Mr. Birobmore and bis valet. Bo far there wai nothing surprising in Ihe ipeolaele. Thai which did surprise and tven astonish me, however, waa the mutual bearing ot Iba two men toward taob othir. I have already mentioned the peremptory tone ia which Mr. Birohmore uniformly addreited the man Blurk, and the generally overbearing attiinde be assume! toward him. But in tbe conversation now going forward all tbit waa changed. To judge by appearance*, I should have said Ibal blurk waa tbe matter, and Mr. Birebmore tbe valet. Tbe former waa gesticulating total- bly, and evidently laying down tbe law in a very decided and autocratic way. Hit iquare, ungainly figure teemed to dilate and take on a masterful and almoal beeloricg air, while Mr. Birohmore Blood wilb bis bands iu bis ooalpocaita, undemonstrative and submissive, apparently accepting wilh meekness all that the other advanoed, and only occasionally interpolating a remark or a suggestion, to which Blnrk would pay but slight or itapalieut attention. Bolb were evidently talking in a low tone, for, though they were not more tban fitly or sixty yards from where I sat, I could not oateh a tingle word, or even so mueb at an inarticulate murmur, unless by deliberately straining my earn. Bat I oil not need nor care to hear anything. What I aaw wai quite enough to startle and mystify me. After a tew minutes the two interlocutors moved slowly on up tbe path and were toon beyond tbe field ot my mirror. But the unexpected scene which I bad witneeud did no) to soon pass out ot my mind. I got np from my table and began walk- ioabout the room wilb Ibe restletincta ot one who cunoi make bii new faolj tally with bii preconceived idsaa. Who and what was blurk, and bow bad be obtained ascendancy over a man like Birohmore? Certainly il could not b* a natural atoin- danoy. Birebmore moil have put himself in tbe otber'a power. In otber worda, Binrk most be blackmailing him. And tun wai tbe tionble, wai it T This waa th* myilary ? II wit an ugly and awkward business, cer- tainly, but tbe main question remained altar all unanswtrtd. Wbat wae il Ibat Birobmore bad dine to give Blnrk a bold upon him t And bad tbal aol, whatever il waa, oomproaiiiod his daughter along with bim ? r ur, now that I gslhertd op in By mtmary all the hints and tigni which had oomi under my notice in reltlion to thia affair, I c uld not help thinking thai liate'e altitude had iu it tpmotbicg suggestive ol more than mere filial sympathy wilb her father's misfortune. In that misfortune or disgrace she bad a personal and separate, in addition to a lympatbetio, share. And yet, in what conceivable way could a low villain like Blnrk fasten hie gripe upon a pure and spollsce young girl ? And what a hideous thought that snob a girl abonld be in any way at bit ueroyi Tbe more I turned the matter over in my mind, tbe more ugly did i I appear. No wonder Ibat father and daughter had warned ma away. Borne men in my position, having aeen thoi tar, might have tbrank back and given up Ihe enterprise. But I wai not in tbal oati- gory. I was more than tver determined to see tbe adventure to ita end nay, to gtio my own end in it, too. The coaditioni of the contest were, at all events, narrowing themselves down to recognizable form. It wai to be a trial of strength mainly between myself and Blnrk between an educated, plucky Englishman tnd a bate German ruf- fianbetween one, moreover, wbo had right, moral and legal, on bla tide and love at bii goal, and one armed only wilh underhand canning and terrorism and aiming at nothing higher than the extortion of money. This wai tbe way I read Ibe tilnation, and I flattered myself that I was tqaal to tbe emergency. Upon consideration, however, I decided to alter my intention of asking Mr. Birob- more about hla valet. It was tolerably clear that be was not ID a position to give me any Information ; and, beside B, I had already learned everything except tbe par- licnlari. Thote particular^ III did not succeed in discovering them onaided, must be extracted Iron Kate. Bbe would not withhold them from me U I queitioned her resolutely and directly, enforcing my inqniritt witb disclosure of tht knowledge I had already obtained. Thia, then, should be my next itep. I sealed up my letter*, locked them in my deak, tnd, il being now nearly teven o'clock, I went down (o supper. OHAFIER VII. Bat at tupper tbtrt was no Kate. Mr. Birohmore aod I wire nerved by Christina, while tbe voices of tilurk and our landlord could be heard in the kitchen. My oanver. nation wit naturally somewhat constrained. Mr, Birehmore bad a good dial to lay abonl tome excursion which hi bad in view (ot the morrow, tool I (ailed to pay very clone attention to bit ramaikt. Oaee, how- ever, I eaugbt Ckritliaa'a ayea fixed upon me and auiled at I remembered btr waru- lugt respecting tbe supposed danger of toll- lary rambles. After aupper I fell more rvktleas tban ever. Mr. Birehmore brought out hie invariable oigars, txpeolag me to join him io a smoke, bat I wai not in the mo d for il, ueiihtr did 1 feel at ease iu bit ecm- paby until thlngii should have beguu to look a little mote cooiprtbeutible. I left him, therefore, ai.d wandered aimlessly about outside the beuse, eaploritia thi tartu yard and buildings, aud then coming round to tbe roid and paoit g np and down on a beat abonl a quarter of a mile in length. II waa a clear, moonlight night aod to warm aa to be almoal opprettiva. At length I re- turned to tbe bouse, il being then alter cine o'clock. Mr. Birobmore bad appar- ently retired. Okiistina wai nowhere to be teen ; so I got a lamp from my early land- lord and found my way without much diffi- culty to my own chamber. Toe warmth within doon waa mill more oppressive than outside. I opened both Ihe windows, drew up my bed between them and placed Ihe table with tbe lamp on il near the bed's bead. I had previously thrown off my coal and waitteoal and laid them across one end of the table. Tbe dia- monds were still in tbe pocket ot tbe coal. I intended taking them out before going to sleep, aaoi pulling them under my pillow or in tome equally secure place. My revolver I alto placed beside the lamp. Then, hav- ing provided myaelt witb a book oat ot my trunk, aud drawn the boll of the door, I re- clined on the outride of tbe bed and begun Io read. I ojnld not, however, fix my mind upon tbe pagt. Firtl my attention and then my eyes would wacder. I took a futile and ab- tnrd ioterait in scrutinizing all Ihe details ol tbe room, I recollect them distinctly now. Tbe walls were not papered, bat tbe planter wat watbtd over witb a dark-gray lint which rubbed cfi wilh Ihe fingers, and the uniformity of whieh waa relieved by vertical baudiof dull red, painted at iuMr- vala of about five feel from M jor to ceiling. Tbe ceiling wai low about eight teel from tbe floor and whitewashed. In out corner itood tbe ebina stove, a glistening, pallid ttiaorure of plain tiles, bain up fonr-tqnire nearly Io tbe lop ot the rcom. Oa the aid* ot the room oppotite the two wmdtw j and the bed wai faitecei a tall looking-glai>e, formed ol three plater, set one above tbe other, edge to edge, iu tush a manner a< painfully to cut op aud diatort whatever wai reflected in them. In from ot tbi locking-glace waa a liliputian waab-atand, and beside it a etraigul-legged chair with- out rungs in a word, a room more utterly devoii of every kind of picture! que or orna- mental attraction ojuld not be imagine! ; yet I could not keep my eyee from vacantly travjreing and relravertiug ita vaeanev. The door wai behind me, at I lay toward Ibe little table on which the lamp itood, but I could tat the free edge ot il brokonly reflected in Ibe mirror, with the cracked black porcelain latch handle tnd Ins iron bolt wbiob I bad ibol into ill place. I wai anytbicg but ileepy ; Ibo btal and the peel of miJgea and btetlrs which tbe l: B ht attracted in through ILe windows would have luinojd to keen mo awake evib bad my mind been at ease. In order to ditpere tbe inacoie I finally extinguished tbe lamp ; tbe mootligbl ia tbe rcoai was so brigut that 1 eould almoa) have seen to read by it. I closed the took, biwevtr, and, clasping my hand! under my hoad, 1 gave myself up to idilalioo. Nil a soa&ii of BLy kiad was auuibli except ibe mum 1 id licking ot tbe watch in my wait tsoat pooket and tbe faint rustle of Ibe pilloir at 1 brealbed. Tbe whue moonlight itemed to augment tbe itilloett ; Ibo wool) great night, and tht boot* with it, aeeniad silently aod intently listening, and at length I found mytell luUnltg intently, too. For what? I oouU not icli, but I likteced nevertbeleea. By -and b) i, 1 fancied a found came a sound from tomewbeto within the house. II was a very faint sound, and did not coma again ; bat il waa such at might have been caused by tbe ligbl pressure of a foot in ons ot the paseageaouMde. Instinctively I reached forth wy hand and laid bold of my revolver, but 1 did not riie from tbe bed nor otherwise alter my poalilon. I still lay H it atieep, wilb tba revolver in oiie hand, the other beneath my bead, and my ajet fixed upon the edge ot tbe door, wLioh wai obscurely visible in tbe mirror, Beversl miuulea passed that and tbtre wai no return of Ibs noise. Theu I aaw the handle ot tbe door move a^d into. Tbe latob clicked slightly ; the door, boiled though il wai, opened as if on oiled hinge*, admitting in indiiliucl figure lu along rob* of kofl gray, bo much I taw in thi mirror. Then the door wat doted again and the ti jure, advaceing toward tbe bed, oeaied to be reflected in tbe gla is. Il advanced close to the bed and paused there a mooaeul ; I could hear its deep, regular breathing. All Ibis time I bad uot moved, bat lay witb my back turned, feigning (dumber. Preasntly the figure paiaed roond the foot of Ibe bed, and came np Ihe other side. Tbe full while light ol tbe moon fell upon il. It was Kate, at I bad known it wae from Ihe flrit mominl the entered Ibe room. Bbe wri clad in a dressing-gown of soft, flowing material, which wat fastened at tbe throat aud trailed on tbe ground. It bad wide sleeves, one ot wbiob fell back from tbe bare, smooth arm and hand that carried a lamp. The lamp was not lighted. Her black hair bung down on her shoulders and on each lida ot her pale face. Her eyea were wide open, bat fixed and vacant, llor breathing wai long and measured, ae, of one sound asleep. Bhe pal the lamp down on the table beside mine and then itood quite still in tbe moonlight, her faoo wholly expressionless and without motion. It waa an appalling thing to tee her that. I, too, remained molionlect, but il wae because I knew not what to do. To awaken her might bring on Ihe worst const nuenoes. If tbe were not disturbed, the might poasibly retire aa qniotly and nneonieioualy as she bad coma. But too mystery of ber being tbere at all appeared utterly inexplicable. What had led ber, in her trance, to vialt my room? How had aha aver known where il waa ? And, above all, how bad aba oonlrived to enter through a boiled door with as much case as though the bad been a ipirit. Per- bapi Ibis was but a ipitit or a phantom of my own brain I Waa I awake ? Bbe ttretahed oat her band, not following Iti motion wilb btr eyes, but mechanically, and, ai il wore, involuntarily. Boa laid it on my ooal on tbe pocket wbiob contained the diamondi. Then, slowly and deliber- ately, and Hill wilh averted face aod eyea and that long-drawn, slumberous breath- ing, HUG unbuttoned tbe faaleningsone tfler one, and ber i cfl, tapering fingtra closed upon tbe oaia. Meanwhile, my mind had been rapidly canvassing all tbe proi and eon* of action, and I hid coma to Ihe eonolntion that il would be belter tor her that I should inter- lara. O! my paraonal intern! in Iba mat- ter I believe I did not think. Indeed, knowing thai ihe diamonds would not be lost, there wai co reason why I should. But it would not do to risk compromising Ktte. It wai dangerous enough that she ibonld be here at all ; but tbal aba should carry away tbe diamonds wilb bit wai in- admissible. I rote from my bed and laid my band gently on ber wriit. Bbe wa no spirit, bat warm fletb and blood. For a few momtnte Ibs restraint in wbiob I beld her seemed to bstui and dii- tress btr. I faLoied I could feel ber pulse beat under my flogen; a kind of iptam oroRsed ber face, bti tyilidi quivered and Ihe tyei moved in their sockets. Tban her breathing became irregular and caught in ber throat in a kind of nob. The moment of awakening waa evidently at band, and I dreaded its coming, leit she ibonld icriam oat and rouse the booia. But, fortunately, the ullered no lound. Blowly tpeoulalJon grew within her eyea she fixed them on ma, firtl with an exprenion ol atrtnge pleasure, toon changing to bewildirmint and fear. Then, with a ory that wai none the lets thrilling became it was a wbisper, ibe drooped forward into my a*mi. It was a deliaiooa moment, for ill its petll "You are perfectly eats," I whispered In ber ear, " only make no coiie." 1 Tom," abe aaid, suddenly treelcg her- ilf from my armi, and palling a band on cither Hhoaldtr, while her wild, black eyee ecacohed my face, "you understand you doii'l think " "Of course I understand, my poor dar- ling I" What thall I do-wbat shall I do ?

Tbe look in Ibe girl's faee at Ibal moment was terrible. "Let ma I will I" " Hub, Kttt 1 Yon never bt all I" "Oh, what shall I do?" she murmured again, flipping down on ber koeea and run- ning both band* through ber thick, black hair.

I laid this reaaiuriogly, bat her words had inspired me witb a vague alarm that I ventured not to define. I brought a chair aid made her ait upon il, and tat down be- side ber. " Not btr*," tbt whispered, drawing back out of tbe moonlight into the tbadow. " Oome here, Tom. He may be looking." " Why, K%te, wbo can ace us hare ? Tbe door iashnl."
